High Gaza Death Toll Figures Generate Controversy

Prof. Kobi Michael: The misreporting of a hospital bombing incident shortly after the war broke out was a case in point.

Israel was accused, shortly after the war started, of bombing Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza City and killing 500 people. Analysis within a few days, including satellite photos analyzed by French intelligence, suggested the parking lot, not the hospital, was hit, that it was hit by a rocket misfired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and that only 30 people were killed.
But they keep counting 500. It appears in figures provided by the Ministry of Health.
